I am getting to complete my Senior level rating which is the last thing I'm missing for my level 3, when I submit for my Level 3 how high up does it have to go i.e. does it only need to make it to my squadron commander or does it need to go up the the wing commanders desk. f.y.i. there are no groups in my wing.

"a. Application. Upon completion of all Level V professional development requirements,the unitís PDO records the data on the memberís CAPF 45. The unit PDO or unit commandercompletes an application for the Wilson Award using the online Professional DevelopmentAwards Module in eServices. This application will be forwarded through the chain of commandfor approval by the wing and region commanders. When approved, NHQ/DPR forwards thecertificate to the wing commander for presentation at an appropriate ceremony. Ribbons arepurchased through Vanguard."

I have sent my paper work in for my level 3 to be approved 5 months ago. have inquired of my commander and the commander has resent it multiple times. not sure what to do. I dont want to jump the chain of command, but really frustrated. any suggestions?

CAP Guy - Not sure why you sent paper. Please do it via eServices. It does not take anywhere near as long and no one can claim that it was "lost", either.

All your records will show up there anyways so it should be a simple matter for your PDO to verify that you met all the Level 3 requirements and click the button which will generate an entry in you squadron commander's queue. From there it goes to Group - if you are in a Wing that has Groups - and the Wing. That's as far as it goes for Level 3.

Which makes even more sense now that Level 5 is required for O5. Only thing that doesn't line up now is that you need a national school for it. Just like you need a region school for the wing promotion that comes before it.
